i have a pakistani(yoyo) loach and was wondering if there are any catfish/loaches that i could also have in my tank
 
Depending on tank size many fish can live with Yoyo loaches (Botia lohachata). If the tank is big enough you can keep them with bristlenose, twig and whiptail catfish, rainbow or redtail sharks, flying foxes, Hoplosternum catfish. Corydoras and most other small peaceful catfish will be fine with them as long as there is room for them.
Loaches are territorial towards other loaches so avoid adding any other species of Botia.
 
if the tank is well established (ie: the filters have cycled) and you don't have too many Yoyos, then perhaps a Hoplosternum, a few Corydoras and a flying fox. It depends on what you like and how many fish are currently in the tank. But pretty much all the fish I listed before will be fine in that size tank with Yoyos. You don't have room for all the fish listed but you can choice an assortment of them.
